adb-install: Push an Android application allowing version code downgrade (debuggable packages only).
$ adb install -d ${filename-apk}
try on your machine
The command "adb install -d ${filename-apk}" is an instruction for the Android Debug Bridge (adb) tool to install an APK file on an Android device. Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "adb" refers to the Android Debug Bridge, a command-line tool used to communicate with Android devices.
- "install" is an adb command used to install an application package on the Android device.
- "-d" is an optional flag that allows installation of APK files that downgrade existing APKs already installed on the device.
- "${filename-apk}" is a placeholder indicating the name of the APK file you want to install. You need to replace "${filename-apk}" with the actual filename of the APK file, including the ".apk" extension.
Overall, this command instructs adb to install an APK file (specified by the filename) on the connected Android device, potentially replacing an existing version of the app if the -d flag is used.
